One Shots: Rick/Morty X OC

Suicidal! Rick X Reader: You're Not Alone

(Third Person POV)

Rick went into his garage. He looked to the machine next to him. He took out two red large light energizers. He grabbed the satellite end and attached it to the machine. He grabbed the orange liquid nearby and poured half onto a small monster which unfroze it and its cried instantly and wiggled aimlessly around. Rick pet it sadly and gave it a pitiful look. He put in one red light bulb and held up the monster in between the red lasers which zapped it into a grey dust where it fell through Rick's finger tips and onto the desk in a heap. Rick drank the rest and put in a new light bulb since the other broke from the energy used from it. The machine lit up and Rick kept hues head high and closed his eyes, a tear slipping down his cheek.

"Goodbye..."he whispered and the machine buzzed and the laser- BAM

(Reader's POV)

I pulled Rick's head down and out of the way which resulted in the laser missing him at a good distance. I sighed. I looked at Rick as he stood up and he bulb broke. He was crying now, full on crying. I went to the garage panel and closed the large metal door so no one could see him cry. I came over to him and hugged him, pushing his head onto my chest as he sniffled and sobbed silently.

"Please just let me die. Please just kill me" he pleaded me on and on but I could never ever ever. I shushed him quickly.

"Rick, stop. It's not worth it, ok? Don't kill yourself. It won't fix your problems or take away the pain. The problem remains and gets passed on to someone close by or related to you, it's the same for pain, love. Come now sit down, let me tell you something really important. And it may make you feel better." He sighs with a nod and I sit him on his swivel chair, I sit on the desk in front of him. I take his hand and place it in my lap as I fiddle with his fingers.

"Look, Rick, you're a dick and all but I really love you, Alright? I love you a lot and even if you don't know why, I do." I look into his eyes, "don't you understand that it hurts me too when you try to kill yourself? Seeing you like this really wounds me! It feels like I'm dying too!" I cup his cheek. He is staring into my eyes. His breathe against my face. He seems so tired. So exhausted. So emotionless but I know that it's not true. He just wants to be loved, to be happy, to help keep the people around him safe. But he is dangerous. And that's why he is having such problems. I sigh and shake my head at him.

"Rick say something." I urge. I'm impatient. I love Rick and I need him to understand that suicide is never the answer. Beth would be devastated to see Rick like this. Jerry would probably feel bad yet feel good. And Morty would try to snap Rick out of it.

"I-I don't want you to love me, damn it." He growls and stands up from the chair and gets closer to me. He puts his hands on the desk on either side of me and leans into me. His chin on my shoulder as he stays there. I can hear his breathes and his heart. He is so close. My cheeks heat up slightly, I keep my composure.

"Well too bad, love. You're stuck with me for life." I laughed half heartedly. He chuckled the same way and sighed.

"Maybe I just want you to be stuck with me but I know you can't." He says and I lift my arms to hug him.

"Shut up and let me love you." I grumble and nuzzle his neck. Close and personal, is not Ricks thing, things so sweet are things He is scared of. Things he can't handle. Things he can't understand why people do them. And I get it because he is a changed man ever since he lost his daughter and wife back at his very first dimension. He was changed, forever different. Never the same anymore. But that's why I love him, because I'm just like him almost.

"(Y/n)...I love you." He whimpered quietly. Did I hear that right? I smile and feel a tear run down my cheek. He fells it on his back and separates quickly to look at my face. His eyes read worry.

"What? Did I say something stupid again?" He asked quickly. I shook my head and wiped my eyes with a smile.

"Y-you said you love me" my smile grows and I kiss his cheek and wipe at my eyes again. Happy tears. I've never felt so loved before. He gave a sigh in relief and wrapped his arms around my waist.

"Scared the shit out of me. So you-you uh want to get something to eat?" He asked. I nodded at him with a gentle smile.

"That would be great." I replied. He lifted me off the desk and next to him. I took his hand and we walked out of the garage and into the real world again. But this time, together.
